@Tadano@Tamamo I've always disagreed that P3 is ONLY about accepting death. It's about living life to the fullest despite the fact that death could be looming. Chidori and Shinji(on femc route) getting second chances fits perfectly with that. And even if they end up saving MC that still doesn't detract from the fact that they were ready to give it all away but didn't let it effect their relationships in a negative way.
@Kyonko802@Tadano@Tamamo Speaking of Chidori, I'm reminded of how much stronger of an impact tier 2 personas had when they were tied to the story. Tying them to storybeats where the character's resolve was hardened made all of them stand out so much stronger.
@supersid333@Kyonko802@Tamamo As much as I love Persona 4, tying party Persona upgrades to their SLs was a step back. Everyone in P3 feels real while in P4 there's a sense in which your party's lives revolve around the protagonists. This problem is even worse in P5 thanks to its writing shitting the bed after Kamoshida.
@Kyonko802@Tamamo I disagree. Both Chidori's and Shinji's early deaths emphasized the need to live life to the fullest and pushed Junpei, Akihiko and Ken to grow. Either of them living cheapens this IMO.
